PTE Core Listening Fill in the Blanks uses 30–60-second recordings and assesses Listening and Writing. Each correct, correctly spelled word earns one point; incorrect or empty gaps earn zero. Use the exact word heard, not a synonym. Your practice total is not an official PTE score or CLB level. These are BandLadder-original recordings, not Pearson questions. Pearson’s Core Listening format and Core spelling and scoring criteria.
